Specialist Lawyers authorised to practise law
throughout England and Wales
A Notary Public in England and Wales is a specialist lawyer appointed by The Court of Faculties of The Archbishop of Canterbury acting under Royal Authority, and regulated through The Faculty Office of The Archbishop of Canterbury.
A Notary in England & Wales performs an independent, impartial and evidence-based legal function of a quasi-judicial character, producing acts of enhanced evidential weight that are relied upon internationally. As independent lawyers, notaries provide notarial services from London that are authorised throughout England and Wales, not only in the area where they are based. As per the Notaries' Society of England and Wales, English and Welsh notaries may practise in a wide range of legal areas, including company and commercial law, property law, probate and succession, trusts, powers of attorney, family law, and related advisory work, in addition to their specialist notarial functions. This national authority enables Staple Inn Notaries, Holborn WC1 to advise and act for clients across England and Wales, including on complex and cross-border matters.
